Singapore trip
Phew… finally made it to the airport on time. I am waiting outside the gate to board the plane to Semarang. The gate is still not open for boarding.
I was on my way in the taxi (not very far away from Zita's apartment) when I realised that I left the plane ticket in Zita's bathroom (I took it out and was using it for reading in the toilet). I quickly called Zita, and she arranged for Mr. Yeow to allow me in and take the ticket. After calling myself stupid hundreds of time, I went back on the same taxi nervously whether I was going to make it on time. I knew I had to rush because I needed to take the luggage from the left baggage area before I can check in. Considering now I still had time to buy my dad's cigarette from the duty free shop and writing this blog is to my amazement. I think it was because I left early the first time since I don't know how long it would take to get the luggage froo the left baggage area. Yeah, lucky that!
Mr. Yeow seemed to know a lot about my family. He knows my dad is a dentist, and that Yovita (he only knew her as "Zita's sister") is staying with Zita. But he thought I was Zita's other younger sister.. Hehehe.. He seemed like a very nice guy. Well I would have missed my flight if it wasn't for him. Don't forget to thank him for me, Ta!
The trip to Singapore was very short yet I enjoyed it very much. Yovi and Zita picked me up from the airport. I met Donny and Pris yesterday. We went to karaoke at KTV Orchard Road and then we had dinner together at Newton Circus. Oh the oyster omelette was yummy!! That has become one of my must-have food in Singapore.
I had a lot of food at dinner time (I think, Zita could confirm this), yet at around 2 am when we were about to go to sleep, my stomach was making rambling noise. It wanted some noodles. :D So I did. Nothing gets in a way between me and my noodles!! :p
This morning I went to see Elvina at her house. Laura, her newborn baby was sleeping while I was there. She looked very cute and petite, she was 3.18 kgs when she was born. I think Laura looked more like Robby. I can't really tell for sure though, because her eyes were closed (due to being fast asleep). We both shared our labour experience, which was something I never thought I would have done when I met Elvina in Melbourne 1996. Years have gone so fast, we can only look back and smile.
Elvina's father and mother were also there. I think Elvina's mom will stay for a month. I'm glad she gets some sort of a help since I know from my own experience that a newborn baby is very demanding. Laura seemed to be very quiet though, apparently she made more noise in the night time, which quite be a nightmare. Elvina needs to train Laura to stay awake in the afternoons and sleep longer during the nights.
Oh I am so tired. The laptop is so heavy it created red marks on both my shoulders.
For those who haven't heard, we are moving to Melbourne, Australia. Nagi got a job offer there and we want to take this opportunity to troll down under. It's closer to Indonesia and I have more friends and family there. I am so looking forward to it and I hope things will go smoothly.
I will try to write as often as I can offline using Microsoft OneNote and post it on the blog whenever I go online.
